Yesterday, I suddenly noticed that the “Return Youtube Dislike” extension wasn’t working, as in, I wasn’t seeing any dislikes. Is Youtube the cause of this? or this is just some random bug?

    Host your own videos where? The average user isn’t likely to start hosting their own file server

      There’s lots of free resources on the internet for learning how to do that. I just wish people would realize that the more you learn about technology, the more you can manipulate the world around you for the better, especially in this decade.

        You’re not wrong, but realistically, there’s no chance of it happening.

        Since you sound like you’re familiar with the topic, what web-based software do you recommend for hosting videos on a VPS?

          I’m definitely more of a hardware guy, but at least I’m old enough to remember the internet before corporations took it over

            Wait, so… you’re advocating for the average user to self-host, but it turns out you don’t even do it yourself?

              No? I’m not a networking guy, I mainly deal with hardware. I do remember when the internet was decentralized and all the innovative content was independent of things like social media. Just because I don’t know how to set up my own video server off the top of my head doesn’t mean I don’t support it.

                The point being, if you’re an IT guy who supports the idea and yet can’t find the motivation to do it, do you honestly think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of anybody else doing it?
